Hofmann 1997: 34) The term late bilingualism refers to people who have learned their second language during adulthood or in other words after the age of puberty.

Q

Intra-examiner

A

the error associated with people doing the rating/examining: How consistent is an examiner within him/herself

52
Q

Split Half

A
  • Correlate two halves of the same test.
    ○ Reliable tests should have strongly correlated halves
  • There’s no lag time between tests, and the same physical, mental, and
    environmental influences will affect subjects as they take both sections of the test
  • will generally underestimate the true reliability of the
    scale because reliability is proportional to the number of items in the
    scale
53
Q

Confidence Interval

A

Confidence intervals measure the degree of uncertainty or certainty in a sampling method.
- speaking a 95% confidence interval means that if we were to take 100 different samples and compute a 95% confidence interval for each sample, then approximately 95 of the 100 confidence intervals will contain the true mean value

54
Q

Standard Error of Measurement

A
  • ways that the test is a good/poor indicator of performance
55
Q

Discrepancy Score

57
Q

Item Analysis

A
58
Q

Discriminant Analysis

A
59
Q

Sensitivity

A

a test’s ability to designate an individual with disease as positive. A highly sensitive test means that there are few false negative results, and thus fewer cases of disease are missed.

60
Q

Specificity

A

its ability to designate an individual who does not have a disease as negative. A highly specific test means that there are few false positive results.

61
Q

Screening Tool

A

-Rapidly tests a set of tasks thought to be indicators of other concerns
* Should be fast to administer and score (ideally <15 min per child)
* Best if can be administered by less-skilled individuals or in group settings
- pass or retest result

62
Q

Over Diagnosis (false positive)

A

when someone is diagnosed even though they do not have the disorder

63
Q

Under Diagnosis (false negative)

A

when someone is not diagnosed even though they do have the disorder

64
Q

A
65
Q

derived cutoff that optimizes
sensitivity and specificity for a
particular marker (test score)

66
Q

Normal Curve based cut-off

A
67
Q

Norm-referenced

A

● Individual performance is determined by relative ranking among the group
of individuals who took the test
● The group scores to which each individual is compared are referred to as norms or the normative sample or normative group or norming sample, or
standardization sample.

68
Q

Standardized

A

these scores compare a single person’s score against a reference sample

69
Q

Criterion-referenced

A

designed to measure a student’s academic performance against some standard or criteria. This standard or criteria is predetermined before students begin the test.

70
Q

Converging Evidence

A

the way that different and independent sources all support one conclusion over another
- scores support parent questionnaire

71
Q

Clinical Marker

A

are bio/behavioral
markers that are nearly always
observed in the presence of true
disease/disorder

72
Q

Modified Scoring

A

scoresthat are changed: “given” to the students
- result in underdiagnosing and hurt the reliability and validity

73
Q

Item Bias

A

examines whether the construction of an index from two or more variables results in bias in relation to sex, age, or other criteria. Item bias may lead to erroneous conclusions because of distortion or dilution of the effects measured

74
Q

Normative Sample

A

the sample from which norms are obtained and consists only of a part of individuals from a reference population: (comparing test scores of a 12 year old to other 12-year-olds)

75
Q

Normal Curve Equivalent

A

another way of measuring student performance relative to other students, in this case where a student falls along the normal curve

76
Q

Percentile Rank

A

The percentile rank expresses the percent of test takers who score lower than the present test taker. These percentile ranks are dependent on the normative distribution of the test.

77
Q

Percent

A

1:100 ratio

78
Q

Raw Score

A

a single score that is derived from a test or an observation
- not useful by itself: should be converged into a percent
